NOEL KING, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Noel King. Facebook flagged and removed an ad from a Canadian seed company - a picture of half a dozen onions in a wicker basket. An algorithm found sexual suggestiveness.

Once actual humans at Facebook looked at the picture, they agreed, and they restored the ad. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
